Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 199 Sisterly Love So Fragile

Chapter 199 Sisterly Love That Is So Fragile

Wang Dong'er's previous assessment of Xu Jiujiu was absolutely correct.

For a long time, she was an exceptionally charming and manipulative vixen.

Especially when this vixen's heart and eyes are only for you, her destructive power increases exponentially.

If it weren't for the fact that as a Star-Crown Soul Master, Xu Jiujiu's Martial Soul's enhancement to physical attributes was ridiculously small, even worse than that of support-type Soul Masters of the same level, Huo Yuhao would probably have made a mistake long ago.

"...Sister Jiu Jiu, that's good. You should know the allocation of lots now, right?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's adorable attempt to change the subject, Xu Jiujiu chuckled softly before his expression became more serious.

"My brother will make the arrangements. Anyway, the kind of thing where the outcome is predetermined by drawing lots has happened to some extent in previous Soul Master Competitions. After all, Shrek Academy has always won the championship since the beginning of the Soul Master Competition."

In this situation, especially for the host country, having a chance to secure second place is an option. This approach is, in a tacit understanding, something everyone agrees on.

As she spoke, she stopped in her tracks, turned slightly to the side, and looked intently at Huo Yuhao, her tone this time filled with worry:

"But Yuhao, how confident are you in doing this? That Xuanji Douluo is, after all, a level 94 Title Douluo."

With his soul core burned, his strength is probably comparable to that of a Super Douluo. If all else fails, letting him go for now is an option; after all, I don't want to see you take any risks.

Sensing the undisguised concern in Xu Jiujiu's words, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart, but he still shook his head and explained earnestly:

"You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. Once he finds out what happened to the White Tiger Duke's mansion, do you think he'll still be able to sit still?"

You should understand just how troublesome the consequences would be if a Title Douluo recklessly chose to flee and instead pursue secret revenge.

After a pause, as if to put Xu Jiujiu's mind at ease, Huo Yuhao added:

"If it were before, I would probably only be 90% confident. However, Vina said that her teacher, Illusionary Brain Douluo, can arrive in time."

With this super Douluo with a spiritual attribute serving as the core driver of our spiritual connection soul tool, I am 98% confident in this operation.

So, Sister Jiu Jiu, you don't need to worry so much. What happens next is just a trap.

"Yes, yes, my little brother Yuhao is the best. I'm not saying I'm 100% sure, but I'm afraid I'll get arrogant."

Looking at the absolute confidence on Huo Yuhao's face for a long time, the huge weight in my heart finally lifted.

But she couldn't help but, in a tone of utmost tenderness, urge him:

"However, Yuhao, you must always remember to act within your capabilities. After all, even ten Xuanji Douluo combined are not as important as your safety in your sister's heart."

"Yes, I understand."

Meanwhile, in the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

A pretty young girl with smooth white hair was staring intently at Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu, who were walking towards the preparation area not far away, chatting and laughing and looking unusually intimate.

She couldn't help but bite the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and her blue eyes were filled with uncontrollable mist.

After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice trembling with emotion:

"Laugh, do you really think sisterhood is... so fragile?"

Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's seemingly nonsensical remark, Xiao Hongchen, who was making her final warm-up for the upcoming match, was filled with questions.

Following his younger sister's gaze, he glanced at her and immediately understood everything.

"Dream, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Hongchen frowned deeply, his tone filled with resentment towards his younger sister for not living up to her expectations.

"I told you long ago, Huo Yuhao is a complete scumbag! He's not worth your attention at all."

"What do you know? You're just jealous of him. He's better looking and stronger than you!"

Meng Hongchen, who had long regarded herself as Huo Yuhao's official girlfriend, naturally would not allow her older brother to slander her beloved in front of her.

Hearing Meng Hongchen's response, which could be described as siding with outsiders, Xiao Hongchen's forehead creased with annoyance. However, he simply snorted and stopped arguing with her. He then changed the subject and said...

"Grandpa came all the way from the Empire because of that spirit. I advise you to behave normally from now on."

If your grandfather finds out about your little scheme, you'll probably be locked up when you get back.

Moreover, I obtained the soul tool 'Red Dust Protection' directly from my grandfather. Whether Huo Yuhao or I are stronger is still undecided.

Since learning Huo Yuhao's true soul power cultivation level from Meng Hongchen last time, Xiao Hongchen has regained his former confidence.

In particular, Huo Yuhao only officially appeared in two matches from beginning to end.

In the first match, the false true form of the martial spirit was revealed.

In the second episode, she simply acted as Ling Luochen's power bank to promote the Soul Spirits of the Spirit Pagoda.

Based on this situation, Xiao Hongchen can boldly guess that Huo Yuhao probably only possesses the power of a single strike.

Even if he can unleash an attack comparable to a Soul Saint, so what?

After borrowing the "Red Dust Protection," a very special level-nine defensive soul tool made by his grandfather, which was not even limited by the user's cultivation level.

With his Soul King cultivation, and under the full power of his Red Dust Protection, he could barely withstand even the full-force attack of a high-level Soul Saint.

He was clearly no longer afraid of the opponent's so-called attack that could unleash a Soul Saint level attack.

After all, in the Soul Master Competition, apart from the explicit prohibition of fixed-installation soul tools, there are not many restrictions on other soul tools.

Just like Ma Rulong, the captain of their Sun and Moon team, his trump card is a genuine level eight melee soul tool, the Sword of Judgment.

Ultimately, the more powerful a soul tool is, the more powerful a soul master is needed to control it.

Being able to successfully activate a level nine soul tool is naturally a skill that belongs to oneself.

Therefore, Xiao Hongchen holds an exceptionally optimistic attitude towards the upcoming matches.

He would surely make sure that Huo Yuhao, who dared to spy on his own sister, never returned, and would be blasted in the buttocks with his most powerful soul-guided cannon.

Seeing her older brother once again lost in his own beautiful fantasy, Meng Hongchen's lips twitched slightly before she gave him a somewhat speechless reminder:

"Laugh, have you forgotten that the main purpose of Grandpa's special trip here was to find the soul?"

And that soul spirit is a technology exclusively provided by Yuhao. At that point, Grandpa will probably be hoping that my relationship with Yuhao can become even closer.

"You're talking nonsense! Grandpa would never do that..."

Xiao Hongchen's usually aloof face flushed crimson in an instant.

What followed were all sorts of defensive remarks, such as "How could Grandpa, as the head of Mingde Hall, possibly sell his own granddaughter?" and "It's just a soul spirit, how could it compare to our soul guide device?"

In an instant, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere again.

……

As the sun rose higher, a bright red carpet was laid out from the direction of the imperial city gate not far away, all the way to the front of the competition stage.

As the heavy city gates of the imperial city slowly opened, Xu Jiawei, dressed in a magnificent bright yellow imperial robe, walked steadily toward the competition stage, surrounded by dozens of imperial guards.

"Long live!"

At this moment, all the soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the square raised their weapons in unison and shouted deafeningly.

The hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Xingluo Square knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

When Xu Jiawei stepped onto the competition stage, the group that remained by his side was a formation of four unfathomable titled Douluo-level elders.

He faced the direction of Xingluo Square, a gentle smile on his face, and said loudly, "My people, rise."

Hundreds of thousands of people stood up in unison, their synchronized voices creating a massive wave of sound.

Shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" were heard constantly.

It is easy to imagine how beloved Emperor Xu Jiawei was in the hearts of his people.

Xu Jiawei did not immediately stop the commotion, but waited quietly with a smile on his face.

After the noise subsided, he spoke gently, "The five-yearly All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is now drawing to a close."

I am deeply gratified to be able to personally preside over this Soul Master Tournament and have the opportunity to share the joy with the people. The draw for the top four is also the final draw of this tournament. Therefore, I have decided to personally preside over this draw ceremony.

We hope that the four colleges will continue to deliver even more exciting matches in the upcoming games. Without further ado, let the draw begin.

As Xu Jiawei finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers that were like a tsunami.

Among the four elderly men who came up on stage with him, the one on the right front slowly stepped out.

An astonishing aura erupted, and the silvery-white soul power fluctuations seemed to freeze the entire space of the square.

Xu Jiawei smiled slightly and said, "To ensure the safety of the upcoming matches, each match will be officiated by His Majesty Xuanji, the Guardian Douluo."

A glint flashed in Xuanji Douluo's eyes as he looked toward the preparation area and said in a deep voice, "Next, please have the representatives of the four teams come up to the stage to draw lots."

When the four representatives walked onto the competition stage one after another, Xuanji Douluo subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao.

Seeing that the other party remained calm and did not have any particular reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for his original plan to cripple or even kill Huo Yuhao on the field, he abandoned it long ago.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It's been more than half a month, why hasn't Dai Hao sent him a secret letter yet?

Could it be that something went wrong?

Before the preoccupied Xuanji Douluo could recover from his brief moment of contemplation, the lottery ceremony was about to officially begin.

Xu Jiawei looked at the four people standing in front of him, smiled and nodded. His gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao for a moment longer before he said gently:

"It is a great pleasure to see you young geniuses who represent the future of the continent here. Next, I will toss the balls with the draw numbers written on them into the air, and you can try to grab them at the same time."

Teams drawn with the same seed will be opponents in the semifinals. Do you all understand?

With a gentle flip of his hand, Xu Jiawei revealed four small spheres shimmering with a faint golden light in his palm.

The four representatives responded in unison, "Understood."

"very good."

A satisfied look appeared on Xu Jiawei's face. "Then, ready—begin!"

As he finished speaking, with a slight movement of his hand, the four golden lights transformed into four streams of light, rising simultaneously into the sky.

The moment the golden light soared into the sky, Jiang Peng of Di'ao Academy and Ma Rulong, the captain of Riyue Academy, both rose into the air.

Their movements were incredibly swift; almost in the blink of an eye, they each grabbed a small ball from mid-air and then landed steadily back on the ground.

The moment Ma Rulong caught that ball, Huo Yuhao already knew what was going on.

He exchanged a glance with Xu Jiujiu beside him. The two of them remained standing in place, unhurriedly reaching out their hands to catch one of the two golden balls that were slowly falling from the sky.

After glancing at the number on the lottery ball, Huo Yuhao immediately said, "I'm number one."

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong's expression visibly darkened. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "...I am also number one."

Upon hearing this result, Jiang Peng, the captain of the Imperial Academy, had a glint in his eyes, and his joy was palpable.

It should be noted that among the four teams that made it to the final four, only Star Luo Royal Academy does not have a Soul Emperor-level Soul Master.

In the Soul Battle Tournament, only the academies that ultimately win first and second place can receive the incredibly precious Soul Bone as a reward.

Being able to draw the weakest team, Star Luo Royal Academy, in the semifinals is almost equivalent to being guaranteed a spot in the top two.

Although neither Xu Jiujiu nor Jiang Peng from Di'ao Academy announced their numbers, it was clear that the results of this final draw were already finalized.
